1. A while ago, I remember seeing the 8048 firmware for the IBM Model F keyboard posted online. I can no longer seem to find it. Does anyone have a copy of it?

2. Additionally, I recall that with the copy I had, there was no context to how it was read out. Is there a debug/test mode on 8048 that lets you read out the firmware, similar to NCR 6500/1 (the Amiga keyboard controller, which has a few documented ways to read the mask ROM)?

My app, Typesetter, is now available on Flathub! It's a local-first editor for Typst (a markup language combining the simplicity of Markdown with the power of LaTeX), featuring a minimal interface, live preview, and click-to-jump between source and preview. It's still in early development, but I'd love feedback if you try it out.
